What happens if you same-day change an upgraded flight?
I have a flight LAX-JFK tomorrow that is upgraded from Y to C using miles currently.
.bomb is offering me a same-day change for $0 to an earlier flight. The earlier flight is showing R3, so upgrade space is available. But if I change the flight, will the upgrade be automatically re-requested and cleared? Or, can I call in and request the upgrade? (after already being checked in online) Do I have to support the upgrade on the new flight with a new instrument and watch the original miles go into limbo until I can get a UA agent to manually re-credit them?
Or, what happens?
Thanks in advance.
